Date and Time sync 8 hours ahead!!

Hey peepl...
I'm not a complete vegetable when it comes to the MAC but my iMAC's problem has me mashed...
I reformatted my hard drive recently so that I could put boot camp on (soiling my MAC with windows software!!) and then restored everything from my Time Machine backup but ever since I did that the time (and date) on my computer is 8 hours ahead of the real time even tho it's supposed to be syncing automatically with apple.asia...
I know I can manually select the time in "Date and Time" in preferences but I prefer to keep it synced.
I thought it was a problem with my firewall so I changed a few settings but it keeps on doing it.
Can anyone help???? It's rather p@ss@ing me off

Thanks for trying to help mate. I actually solved the problem late last night after noticing something. It seems that Windows in Boot Camp time was set 8 hours ahead which seems to have meant that every time if fixed the time on here, when I rebooted in windows in put it 8 hours further ahead.
But it ALSO meant that when I tried to sync the time to apple.asia (for some strange and weird reason) the server returned that time as being correct (the one that was 8 hours ahead). I still don't understand it but at least (I think, and hope) it's fixed. :S
thanks again for taking the time to try and help out Daniel...

Problem with date and time syncing itouch to macbook

i have a problem with the date and time on ical when i sync my itouch4 w my macbookair. whatever i entered into my calendar in itouch will appear different in my ical( with a 6 hrs advance difference) and the alarm i set on my itouch in the calendar doesnt ring at the right time as set even though it is shown the time that i wanted.
Both my macbook n itouch are set to the same time zone and i have checked this many many times n the time is the same on both machine. but i just dont understand why is there a time difference when synced and my alarm just dont sound at the time it was supposedly set. it rings hours later n showing a different time that it was set but in the parenthesis the right time that i had set it.
One time my computer ran out of battery n went into sleep mode and when i open it again, the time n date setting was all off. which im surprised why it had gone off. So did this create the problem i have now with the date n time sync or something else?
please help!!!!

Having the same problem, & am running Parallels (which I haven't used for some time) not boot camp. I tick the box labeled "Set time automatically" & lock the "click the lock to make changes". When I reboot, the Lock is unlocked and the "set time...." is unticked. Any ideas. Cheers.

Date and Time Sync at boot for Active Directory/Open Directory Authenticati

All the macs in my school district are set to automatically sync their time with a network time server. They do not do this unless the system preference is opened. This poses a problem as all our users must authenticate against an Active Directory and an Open Directory server. If the time is out of sync they can not login, and therefore can not fix the time. I must then login in with a local admin account set the time and then the network account can login. I have tried using direct IP addresses for the NTP server. That doesn't work either. I have adjusted the tolerance of the AD server to accept a large discrepancy in time (did not work). Set the users to be mobile accounst (local home folders), did not work. The only fix will be to ensure that the time does sync at boot, before login. Is there a way to force the computer to sync at boot to a given NTP server, prior to the login window appearing?

I have come up with my own solution for this issue. It is a two part solution. We found that the computers are experiencing time drift and that after they get out of sync by 5 minutes they can no longer login. One would think that the setting in the Date and Time system preference to automatically synchronize the time would take care of this. That however is not the case that check mark does not affect the ntp service at all. It merely eliminates the need to click a button when entering the system preference. How did we discover this? well that is part of the solution. We used webmin (http://www.webmin.com) to look at the ntp configuration. No matter what changes we made with the Date & Time preferences nothing changed in the system ntp settings. So on to the solution: Install webmin, and configure the ntp protocol manually to sync at your desired interval (I did hourly). This stops time drift. Next create a startup item and associated plist to force time sync at boot (be sure to loop it as different machines initialize their network cards slower). I have made ours available for download (http://www.manheimcentral.org/~getzt/netTime.zip). I hope this helps others. We have found that this works fairly well.

Date and time 12 hours off

The date and time are 12 hours off on all my Idevices (Ipads and I pod touches), YET the time is correct on my Iphone and all my computers and my router. The date/time are set to generate automatically. When I turn this feature 'off' the time immediate changes 12 hours back to the correct time. However, synchronized events on my calendars (say, with gmail calendar) remain 12 hours off. I have no idea what is going on. I had thought this may have something to do with my wi-fi and/or router, but the 'automatic' date/time change regardless of whether wi-fi is even on or off on the devices. Also, I can't figure out why the Iphone would have the right time when the other devices all have the time off by 12 hours. Any ideas

Thanks, but something is still wrong. I have tried to set the date and time manually and this does fix the general time on the Idevice; however, programs such as weather and the calendar still show events 12 hours when they synch to gmail calendar. So something about the Idevice is still telling the device it is 12 hours off even though I have set the date/time manually.

CF8, Mysql, Date and Time 1 hour behin

Hi Guys we have CF8, and we are using Mysql 5.0 the
connection with the database is perfect
but we have a very estrange problem we store date and time
information into the database
when we query the database we get the right information
however when the coldfusion script
show the result in the web the information is 1 day behind,
I've been looking around in the CF8 administration to see if I can
change some settings without any success.
Example:
eventID eventType eventVenue eventDetail eventStart
eventstartTime eventEnd eventendTime eventLevel eventActive eventTS

of interest are the time and date columns eventStart,
eventstartTime, eventEnd, eventendTime - please note the values
retrieving that information (without modification) via
coldfusion are 1 day behind for dates (actually 1 hour behind) and
1 hour and 1 minute forward for time

We reproduce the problem in Windows or Linux so we believe
it's a problem with the coldfusion
can you give us any advise ?
Regards
Ivan

I don't think the problem with with CF. In addition to the
server's timezone, which JVM are you using? You need to at least
1.4.2_11 to account for the recent change in daylight savings time.

Hi,
Please find the FM - DELTA_TIME_DAY_HOUR,
this will give you the time in minutes, hence you can convert it to hours.

OVS date and time

Hi all,
I am facing problem with date and time sync in Oracle VM server.
Problem is that after the guest power off the guest time is getting old (16-jul-2009) . OVM server time is synced with NTP server and time is actual but guest time is not matched with OVS time even after I did ntp update in guest after reboot I see same old time.
Seems like guest syncs with some old time but whence he found this old time ?
If any one knows please help.
./thanks

>
what 6 hour offset. Where did you saw ?Sorry, I got confused with another post I was replying to somewhere else. Please ignore the 6 hour remark.
Follow-up question: if you start this guest on a different server, does it get the right time, i.e. does it only have the wrong time on a particular server? Or is it one particular guest that always has the wrong time when it starts, regardless of which server it starts on?OK, everything is clear , thanks for help I will check all.

Selection Screen - Date and Time

Hi,
I have given a selection screen where the user needs to key in the input in the following format
dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm:ss.
Reason is that the database fetching these elements accepts only in this criteria.
Now as they look into automating this program, they would want to automatically take the current system date and time - 24 hours .
How do I achieve this in the above format? If this is not possible, let me know if i can make the selection screen with normal sap date format and convert it to the above format on passing to the select statement.
Regards
Sam

Hi Sam,
See this. Is this your requirement.
With this we are able to get Current time-stamp to selection parameter.

Set Date and Time Automatically...doesn't

We've noticed that the setting to automatically synchronize date and time to Apple's time server doesn't work if the system preference is 'locked'
In other words, if the user that's logged in currently, isn't an admin user, then the machine doesn't set the date and time automatically.
As soon as you unlock the system preference by clicking the padlock at the bottom, the date and time sync as they should.
Anyone else noticed this?

We do want the clock correct. The issue here is that the internal clocks drift - as I understand it, this is the one of the main reasons behind using a network time server.
With the Date and time preferences set to 'Set date and time automatically', the but with the lock at the bottom corner locked- it's as though being locked is preventing the automatic date and time settings from updating.
But the preference is checked on, and so the clock should be 'resetting' itself as necessary.
To give an example- say the machine has been off for a while, and unplugged. This will cause the machine not to know what the Date and Time is. When the machine starts up, the preference should kick in, and the machine should 'Update date and time' automatically.
But it doesn't. So long as that padlock is locked, even though the preference is checked on, the machine will not alter the date and time - until the padlock is unlocked.

Cisco SPA525g2 Date and time Not Synced with the PBX server

Hello,
We have a couple of SPA525g2 phone connected and registered to our PBX server. We were able to configure 3 extensions on different lines of the phone. However, at times we were encountering issues with the other lines configured on the phone. There are times wherein 1 extension configured on the phone is having one way audio issue, but the other extensions configured on the same phone is working fine. and we have to reboot/reset the phone several times for all the extesions configured on the phone to work.
Also, whenever we reset the phone, the date and time will be way way behind the current date and time, eventhough we have already set the correct date and time before we reset the phone.
How can we resolve the one way audio issue on 1 or 2 extensions of the phone, while the other extensions configured to it is working fine?
How can we make the phone sync the date and time with the PBx server?
Any input and help regarding this issue is greatly appreciated...
Btw, date and time issue not sync with the PBX server is just happening on SPA525g2, we have other phones like SPA303, SPA504, and SPA232D/SPA302D. All other phones' date and time is in sync with the server even though we reset them except SPA525g2.

I am looking for a timer that shows elapsed time since a particular date and time. Showing days, hours, minutes etc.

I would like to download an application for my desktop and maybe even my iphone that will tell me how many days, hours, minutes, etc have elapsed since a particular date.
For example, my brother just had a baby and I want to put that date and time into the app and then determine how long it has been since that date and time.
Hopefully this makes sense, because I have not been able to locate anything.
Thanks in advance,

This is fantastic. Thank you.
Is there any way to have something like this displayed on my desktop showing the time as it ticks away?

Can I view date and time (metadata) of iphoto pics after sync?

Successfully synced thousands of iphoto pics to the ipad 2. Is it possible to see the metadata - actually, just the date and time of the pic - on the ipad 2 photos? Is there another photo app that lets me see the date and time?

Check out my PhotoMeta app. It's free.

My AppleTV cannot set date and time. I've reset it, but after 3 hours, it is still trying

My AppleTV used to work fine. Someone messed with my Time Capsule, so I had to have it worked on. Since it was messed up, the AppleTV can't function. I reset it and updated everything. It said "Activating" and "setting date and time". After 3 hours, it is still trying to set the date and time. Now what do I do? Thanks for any help.

As I previously wrote in a former post:
I will first assume you are still setting up your new Apple TV. Is this is the case, use a website like canyouseeme.com to check if port 123 is open. If it is not, this is your issue of your Apple TV not being able to connect to the timeserver. Try contacting your Internet Service Provider for help with opening this port.
Otherwise, try hard resetting your Apple TV by disconnecting all power for 30 seconds. If the problem still persists, you may try hard resetting your router by also unplugging all power for 30 seconds.
Hope this worked out well for you. If you are having further troubles you can always connect it to iTunes using a micro-usb and restore it. Lastly, the Genius Bar will be more than happy to fix the problem for you if you'd like to make a reservation for your local Apple Store.

IMovie 9.0.8 "date and time" Title is 5 hours off original footage.

Since iMovie doesn't import the original Date and Time that the footage was recorded, I have been using the "date and time" Title feature, which in prior versions has worked well. Since updating to ML and iMovie 9.0.8, the time is off by approximately 5 hours. I can usually correct this by adjusting the date and time in the frame but it's an extra step I'd rather avoid. Has anyone else experienced this glitch? Is there a fix?

TS3920 I updated my iPad to iOS 7.02. Now my time and calendar are off by 3 hours. There is no longer a Date and Time section under General settings. How do I change my time?

I updated my iPad to iOS 7.0.2 and the time is 3 hours off. There is now no longer a date and time section under General settings. How do I change the time on my iPad?

In iOS 7 there still is a Settings > General > Date and Time. Use it to correct your time or set it to Set Automatically.

Date and Time sync 8 hours ahead!!
